Question Hey Bill,
I like to know, how much does it cost AC/DC to put on their live show evernight? And is it true that the band members live far away from eachother in different countries? I know the bass player lives (don't know if he still does) here in Hawaii, a place called Hawaii Kai.
Thanks,Gerald
Answer Hello Gerald,
Thank you for your questions. I am uncertain as to the exact amount it costs for AC/DC to put on a live show during a tour, but I would tend to think it fluctuates depending on what tour and the location of the performance/size of the venue.
Yes, most of the members live in different countries. Brian and Cliff both live in the United States actually, both in the state of Florida. Angus resides in Holland, Malcolm in the UK, and Phil in New Zealand.
